E
Why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you
E
That ain't no ghost - it's a reflection of you
E
Why do you turn away - an' keep it out of sight
C#m B A E
Oh - don't live up to your given roles
C#m B A E
There's more inside you that you won't show
E
But you keep it hidden just like everyone
E
You're scared to show you care - it'll make you vulnerable
E
So you wear that ghost around you for disguise
C#m B A E
But there's no need just 'cos it's all we've known
C#m B A E
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jam/ghosts_crd_ver_2.html ]
There's more inside you that you haven't shown
E
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
E
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
E
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
C#m B A E
One day you'll walk right out of this life
C#m B A E
And then you'll wonder why you didn't try
E
To spread some loving all around
E
Old fashioned causes like that still stand
E
Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down
C#m B A E
How do you feel at the end of the day
C#m B A E
Just like you've waked over your own grave
E
So why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you
E
At the moment there's nothing - so there's nothing to lose
E
Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through
C#m B A E
